**DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Farm Service Agency** 

**7 CFR Parts 761 and 764**
**RIN 0560–AI17 Microloan Operating Loans** 

**AGENCY :**  Farm Service Agency, USDA. **ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is modifying Operating Loan (OL) application, eligibility, and security requirements for Microloans (ML) to better serve the unique operating needs of small family farm operations. The intended effect of this rule is to make the OL Program more widely available and attractive to small operators through reduced application requirements, more timely application processing, and added flexibility in meeting the managerial ability eligibility requirement. FSA is also removing provisions for the low documentation (Lo-Doc) application process for OLs from the existing direct loan regulations.

Persons with disabilities or who require alternative means for communication (Braille, large print, audio tape, etc.) should contact the USDA Target Center at (202) 720–2600 (voice and TDD). **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

FSA has a long history of providing agricultural credit to the Nation’s farmers and ranchers through its OL Program. The Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1972 (Pub. L. 92–419, CONACT), as amended, authorizes FSA’s OL Program. FSA’s OL Program is designed to finance the farm operating needs of family farms for operators who meet the program eligibility requirements. Among other things, eligible applicants must be unable to obtain sufficient credit from other sources; have sufficient applicable education, on-the-job training, or farming experience; have an acceptable credit history; and have adequate collateral for the proposed loan. (See 7 CFR 764.101 and 764.252 for a full explanation of OL eligibility requirements.) OL funds may be used for such things as annual or term operating purposes to refinance certain debts; pay normal farm operating and family living expenses; purchase livestock, equipment, and other materials essential to a farm operation; and may also be used for some minor improvements to farm real estate, such as wells and essential repairs to buildings. (See 7 CFR 764.251 for a complete list of OL funds uses.) Throughout this rule, any reference to ‘‘farm’’ or ‘‘farmer’’ also includes ‘‘ranch’’ or ‘‘rancher,’’ respectively; in this document, the word ‘‘operator’’ refers to farmers who operate a farm.

In on-going efforts to improve the OL Program, FSA evaluated the unique needs of small farm operations and identified unintended barriers to applying for OLs. As a result, FSA is simplifying the application process and adding flexibility for meeting both loan eligibility and security requirements to encourage their participation. FSA published the proposed rule on May 25, 2012 (77 FR 31220–31226). The proposed rule included provisions for streamlining and abbreviating the application process, modifying security provisions, and providing additional flexibility in meeting the experience eligibility requirement. Additionally, FSA proposed removing the Lo-Doc OL Program provisions from the CFR. As discussed below, this final rule makes a few changes from the proposed rule in response to comments.

The ML application process, or the ML process, is within the existing OL Program framework, and uses existing OL appropriations to focus on the financing needs of small farm operations. These small farms, including non-traditional farm operations, currently have limited financing options available.

ML has been designed to appeal to small family farm operations. The ML application process simplifies the information required to apply by reducing the level of documentation required to more appropriately align with the less complex structure and needs of small operations. Additionally, the eligibility requirement for managerial ability and the loan security requirements for the ML process have been modified from the OL
